Khachapuri recipe

Khachapuri is a typical Georgian cheese-and-egg bread. The real Georgian khachapuri is made with sulguni cheese that is impossible to find in Italy. So I've adapted this recipe to Italian ingredients. The result is simply amazing! Try it and you'll fall in love:-)

To make 5 khachapuri you need:

• 300g (11 oz) self-raising flour
• 200g (7 oz) plain yogurt
• 7g (1,5tsp) dried yeast
• 20g (1tbsp) soft butter
• 1tsp salt
• 1tsp honey
• 50ml (2tbsp) warm milk
•  2 eggs
• slices of parmesan cheese
• stracchino or teleme cheese
• oil
• salt, black pepper

Combine the flour, salt and butter

Mix well

Add the yogurt, milk, yeast and honey

Knead the dough and leave it grow for 3 hours in a warm place

Divide the dough in 5

Roll out each piece of dough

Then roll the dough up towards the center from both sides

Pinch the ends together to give it a form of a boat

Place the ''boats'' on the baking tray covered with a parchment paper

Put some slices of parmesan in each ''boat''

Put 2tbsp of teleme or stracchino cheese in each ''boat''

Beat the eggs with a fork

Pour them on top of the teleme cheese

Add some salt and black pepper

Preheat the oven to 190C/350F and bake khachapuri for 25 minutes

Let them cool just a little and enjoy them, yummy...
